Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin has said that government efforts are going on to stabilise the prices of essential commodities, particularly in preparation for the upcoming Ramadan.

He also urged media professionals to support these efforts of the government that came to power following a student-led mass upsurge.

Speaking at a scholarship cheque distribution event at the Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) on Saturday, the adviser said the prices of sugar, oil, and onions have already shown a decline due to recent market interventions.

"We are striving to maintain a balance between supply and demand to ensure affordability," Bashiruddin said, adding that achieving a sustainable market requires collective efforts and public cooperation.

Focusing on broader societal concerns, the adviser reflected on the challenges faced over the last 15 years, during which a culture of criminalisation emerged, fragmenting the state and creating a pervasive sense of fear across various sectors.

He also called on students to view knowledge acquisition as a continuous process and to remain determined in their pursuit of academic and professional success.

The Adviser also said work is going on to build a dignified society.

Mentioning that acquiring knowledge is a continuous process, Bashir said that the students would have to do hard work to gain knowledge and thus devote themselves to attain their desired goals.

Presided over by DRU President Syed Shukur Ali Shuvo, NRBC Bank Managing Director and CEO Md Robiul Islam and Director and Chairman of Risk Management Committee AKM Mostafizur Rahman spoke as special guests. DRU General Secretary Mohi Uddin gave the address of welcome.

Later, the adviser handed over cheques for stipends among the children of deceased DRU members.
